Talent-Swallowing Magician - Chapter 271
Part 2 Episode 11
The evil clan,
Hyulyuran, is as infamous as it is, and there are various criminal organizations hidden there. However, even criminals, no matter how fast they were, could not easily approach Namdong-gu.
It was because of a boss who ruled there.
Yaraehyang (夜來香).
The moment you smell the scent that comes in the deep night, the shadow of death appears.
Also known as ‘Night of Hyulan’, he was an object of fear that brought fear to all Hyulran people.
However, the place where the scent of wild flowers was said to reside was located in the center of the Namdong-gu area and could easily be found anywhere.
Slurp slurp –
There was silence in the living room except for the sound of someone writing something down.
bang!
At that time, someone burst open the door and came in.
“Why don’t you just knock and come in?”
Ty Hall, the owner of the place, spoke quietly to the uninvited guest in a calm voice as if it were everyday life.
A tone so calm that you would never expect it to be the tone of someone who is known to dominate the nights of the Holidays.
But the uninvited guest didn’t seem to care about that at all.
“Did you hear the news? “I heard your brother came back a little while ago.”
While Tyhol was writing a letter to send somewhere, he stopped his pen and looked at the man in front of him.
The person who opened the door and came in was Formant, Tyhol’s old comrade and friend.
Tyhol asked sarcastically as he could not understand Formant making a fuss about the return of his younger brother.
“why? “Did you bring Lilith?”
The two once decided that they wanted to change the world, so they went outside of the holiday zone and experienced all kinds of hardships together.
And three years ago, he returned to his hometown and settled down again.
Formant, of course, could clearly see what Tyhol was thinking, so he smiled and responded.
“Fortunately, it doesn’t seem like you are that thoughtless. Or, if you ask me, should I say that I brought more trouble?”
Taihol frowned upon hearing that he was more troublesome than the Great Demon King.
“What does that mean?”
“Blonde green eyes.”
For a moment, Tyhol’s eyes narrowed slightly, unable to understand what was being said.
“what?”
“Blonde hair and green eyes.”
“…!”
“You brought Mervinger to the world. Your brother has done a great job. “A very big deal.”
“….”
Formant’s tone was close to sarcastic.
Tyhol also pursed his lips tightly.
At first glance, there seems to be no connection between Mervinger and the holidays where all kinds of criminals and lower class people gather.
However, the name Mervinger was actually not small even in the holiday section.
No, when I think about the name of Mervinger, the weight of the word Mervinger was enormous.
People in the world call him the Star Mage.
But here in the holiday section, it is called differently.
-Saint of the stars.
Although he held the most noble position, he always tried to relieve the poor.
He also tried to clear the name of the Hung-ui clan, which had been persecuted for a long time.
Therefore, while Usden was alive, Hung’s clan was able to live a safe life for the first time.
I was able to smile for the first time.
but.
Their good times did not last long.
When the Great Demon War broke out and Mervinger was killed, everything turned upside down.
The aftermath of the war was so great that each country needed a target to receive the people’s anger.
From then on, a rumor began to spread.
There is a rumor that the Hung family was instigated by demons during the Great Demon War.
The rumor gradually gained weight like a snowball rolling down a slope, and eventually it degenerated into ‘The Hungry clan sold information on the human camp to the demons and led to internal strife.’
and.
In the past, news was even spread that it was because of them that the warrior Udun Mervinger, whom the Hung family respected and loved, became a warrior.
In this way, the aftermath of the war was concentrated on Hung’s family.
A vicious race that is a stooge of the demons and betrayed their benefactor.
In the end, the Hung family has been oppressed so severely over the past 30 years that it cannot be compared to previous times.
A massacre occurred.
A massacre in which more than half of the population is killed.
‘If it was going to be like this… I’d rather pretend not to know. I’d rather ignore it…’
After that, the oppression continued. As time passed, the number of clans born during the period of oppression increased compared to the clans that lived under the protection of Uthden.
Naturally, those who resented the Mervinger family became the majority.
In this way, Mervinger became an object of love and hate.
But…
Mord personally brought the Mervinger here to the holiday section.
The weight of its meaning was bound to be special.
Formant continued speaking to Tyhol, who had a confused expression.
“But Jen was caught trying to pick Mervinger’s pockets. “Now it looks like he was taken to the village chief’s house.”
The identity of the kid who was caught trying to rob Elric was none other than Tyhol’s son.
The son brought in by Ty Hall from ‘outside’.
Zen was born with the blood of the Hung clan, but the other half was born with the blood of ordinary people.
A being whose blood is mixed half and half from those who oppress and those who are oppressed, and who naturally cannot fit into either side.
Therefore, Zen was treated as an outcast even within the holiday section and was not allowed to go outside.
Tyhol let out a deep sigh.
“Do you know why I sometimes envy you?”
Even though Formant guessed what it was, he couldn’t help but ask.
“Something?”
“Not having children. “To me, the most difficult thing in the world is educating children.”
“Hehe, so do you regret it?”
“That sound again… Is it possible? “You know she once meant everything to me.”
Tyhol continued speaking with a bitter smile.
“If I was going to regret it, I did it right away. Even if you do that, it’s not too late to do it after burning the empire.”
Tyhol spoke solemnly as he stood up and took his top clothes.
Formant opened the door.
“What about your comrades?”
“Leave it alone. Even if he is a grandson, he is ultimately a descendant of a star saint. Could it be that it’s bad enough to harm a child…”
“It’s Mervinger.”
“….”
A very short silence.
Eat.
Fromant asked with a slight smile.
“Still, will you just go?”
“…Just in case, I’ll call you first.”
“good. Then I will take the lead.”
As they left the room, ready to leave, the letter Tyhall had been scribbling fluttered in the wind.
-Different opinions on plan 6 of the revolutionary uprising. I also agree with the plan you mentioned earlier, but the
letter ended as follows.
-…So, as soon as the uprising begins, I hope that reinforcements can cross the border so that the revolution can spread quickly within the empire.
From: Ty Hall.
Recipient: Dear Commander of the Revolutionary Army’s 2nd Corps.
* * *
A sitting room located on one side of the living room.
Elric was looking at the old man with a shocked expression on his face, without even drinking the tea that Mord had brought him.
Heedless of those gazes, the old man smiled and spoke.
“Doesn’t the tea smell nice? “This is a rare tea brought from the East with great difficulty.”
“….”
『Looking at your expression, does it seem like you know someone?』
Elric answered with a frown, as if he was uncomfortable with this situation.
[If you know, you know.]
『If you know, you know, and if you don’t know, you don’t know. What do you mean?』
Elric answered in a pathetic voice.
[Mephie is really very tactless. Anyway, this old man was our family’s last sponsor.]
『What? “What kind of sponsorship did Mervinger get?”
Mephisto was surprised and was about to ask something, but the old man spoke before him, lowering his teacup.
“This old man is very happy to see that he has grown up so well. “I think both your father and mother will be very happy.”
“I think my parents would be more surprised if they found out that the leader of the ‘Rhine Union’ was actually a member of the Hung family.”
The old man smiled bitterly and bowed his head towards Elric.
“I’m sorry, Elric. “I ended up deceiving you unexpectedly.”
Elric was once again taken aback by the extremely polite apology.
As long as the other person was so sorry, Elric couldn’t make it any more of an issue.
“…No, I understand everything. “If you wanted to pursue outdoor activities, it was probably an inevitable choice.”
The name of the old man bowing his head in front of me was Trang.
Another title is the head of the ‘Rhine Union’, one of the five major branches of the empire.
If you had to name the richest people on the continent, he was a tycoon who would be counted among the top ten.
And he was a grateful person who supported the Mervinger family long after its fall.
‘I thought the fact that I didn’t have a last name was just because I came from a commoner background, but in fact I was from a clan of evil.’
Probably not everyone in the world would imagine that he is a member of the evil clan.
In fact, Elric also knew something to some extent.
It is already a widely known fact that Hung’s clan is scattered all over the continent and working hard to make money.
In that case, it was a reasonable guess that there would be someone controlling their network.
‘But the leader is Trang…’
Trang was called a strong supporter of the pro-royalty faction and played the role of a financial supplier, while at the same time completely deceiving the world behind the scenes.
Sejak entered deep into enemy territory to survive.
‘It was dark under the lamp.’
“I was really sorry about the past day. “I wasn’t leaving Elric and Hayes so coldly…”
Elric shook his head.
I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t disappointed in the emotional realm, but the reason was obvious.
“No, I understand. “The emperor must have ordered it that way.”
Trang’s eyes lit up at the sight of Elric responding casually.
“How did you grow up so much? You are still as brilliant as you were when you were young. As expected, Elric…”
Elric waved his hand and interrupted Trang’s words.
“Don’t dig any deeper.”
Even though Elric came here, there was something he had to make clear to Trang.
“I have absolutely no intention of quarreling with the imperial palace just yet. “I am also close to someone who is likely to be the next emperor.”
Trang seemed to be liking Elric more and more as he spoke in advance as if he were a player.
“I don’t think you need to worry about Elric.”
Elric, who was a little embarrassed, cleared his throat and continued speaking.
“Hmm, more than that, what I’m curious about is why a person who is also the owner of the top five companies needs my help.”
“I should tell you about that first…”
The moment Trang was about to say something to Elric.
Sreuk.
Elric’s eyes suddenly became sharp.
Trang realized something strange and tilted his head.
“Why are you doing that…?”
“For more details, let’s kill the rat first and then finish.”
Elric memorized the mantra as he jumped up and ran out the door.
“【Break it and tie it up.】”
Kwa Bang-!
And in an instant, the wall collapsed due to the blowing ice storm.
Then, the scent of magical power was felt along with the wind.
“Inspection Bureau… these bastards can’t stand it anymore and have already come this far?”
Elric’s eyes shone coldly.
